Target: Adam Cobb, City Attorney, Pensacola, Florida
Goal: Impose strong legal punishment on the person reportedly captured in a viral video striking a dog with a rod-like object.
A disturbing video, shared widely on social media, purportedly shows a man hitting a defenseless dog multiple times with what appears to be a bat or rod. The footage also seems to reveal the same individual dragging the frightened animal by its hind leg. The dog is portrayed cowering and apparently in severe distress throughout the clip.
Law enforcement arrested a suspect following public outcry over this incident. However, despite the arrest, many remain concerned about how severely this alleged crime will be punished. Observers fear the dog may have sustained serious injuries, and as of now, few details regarding its current condition are available.
Acts of cruelty toward animals are not only alarming in themselves but may also signal a more extensive disregard for life. In response, citizens are calling for decisive penalties that reflect the severity of any verified wrongdoing. Meaningful legal consequences can set a firm precedent that such behavior will never be tolerated.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney Cobb,
A viral video apparently depicts a dog being struck multiple times with a rod or bat and then dragged by its hind leg. This graphic footage, which has circulated widely on social media, seems to show the animal cowering in apparent terror while enduring repeated blows.
Although local authorities have taken a suspect into custody, many worry about whether the charges and sentencing will fully match the egregious nature of these alleged actions. Unchecked cruelty not only endangers vulnerable pets but can also threaten community safety at large.
We respectfully request that your office treat this matter with utmost seriousness and pursue the strongest legal penalties if evidence confirms the alleged brutality. Swift, decisive action will help protect future animals from suffering similar harm.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

What a despicable individual. Anyone who harms animals should be held accountable as if they were committing serious crimes against humanity. Those who abuse animals should face consequences that reflect the severity of their actions—essentially receiving treatment in jail that mirrors their abuse. A sentence of merely one year or less is insufficient; these individuals pose a continuous threat to society. The legal system must implement stricter penalties for animal abusers, with prison sentences of at least ten years to ensure justice is served and to deter future offenses.

This is truly unacceptable behaviour by anyone. How can anyone think one day “I think I will take A large solid heavy object and beat a dog to death or seriously impair them? There isn’t any excuse, as far as I am concerned, for this heinous act of cruelty. This individual deserves the harshest penalty and needs to set an example that this treatment against any living being will not be tolerated. Please set stricter laws against animal cruelty of any kind.
